Now with that said it's not like I have to block rooms but to get the current promotion they are running you do. Any Advice? Side Note: Current promotion if you block or outright book 20 or more rooms you get 20% off room rates and 20% off private events

Don't know if I'm much help on the room blocking stuff. We're going through a local TA here and they arrange a whole package for hotel and air. But we DO have to have at least 10 guests committed right away and deposit $300 each. Then everyone else has about another 20 days to book in at the guaranteed group rate. After that it's availability only etc. So I guess that's the same as booking the rooms directly?

And just in case you're thinking about it, if you are planning to sell any of your stuff let me know. I really need lanterns among other things.

To chose your ceremony setup? I'd do it with your WC offsite now, lock that in and then confirm or change with your onsite coordinator once you get there.

Thank you!! That's so sweet I could only dream to be as fashionable as one Miss. Carrie Bradshaw!

I am planning on setting some stuff, you may be in luck, I'll contact you first before I broadcast it.

Thanks!! It's so much fun isn't it?

I am deep in planning mode, I'm freaked because I have 16 days and pretty much no details.

I think I have my theme nailed down, should be simple... now just need to make and get out the invite!

[taylorwd]

Crap, that means 16 days for me too! *Sigh* I've got it pretty under control but 16 days is not much time!!! Gotta get DH's butt in gear.

Thanks for the sweet compliment sweetie!!!! I wore 4 different outfits. I get my disc of all my pics tomorrow, so I am sure I will be changing my siggy pic and posting on facebook!

[taylorwd]

Oooooh Lindz, so you were finally able to get some communication from the photog? Yea!

 

I know I already said it, but I have to jump on the bandwagon and tell you again how much your outfits rocked!

It felt like so much pent up emotion and anxiety and something I'd been looking forward to for such a long time. Thanks that TTD was so comfortable until I got into the ocean and it weighed like 200lbs after that I swear. The pearls are real and a gift from my Aunt who was in Shanghai earlier this year. My photographer couldn't believe I was gonna do a TTD with them in the ocean I'm going to guess 4? Maybe 5... she's so damn cute, I wish I had more outfits in mine!

haha 4 is right...wait, maybe 5?!? Thank you You girls are just so full of compliments today!!!

Oh girls!! As a result of all of your good thoughts and prayers and whatever else you were sending my way, my photog has definitely redeemed herself. Passports order, pictures and garmin sent! They will arrive tomorrow! WHEW!!!!!!!!!!! SUCH a relief. This week has been HELL and on top of all that photo drama....

I think I was more concerned with coming up with $7500 on the front end. Again THANK YOU LADIES! Your the best!

Maggie...just FYI...don't be surprised if people don't book right off the bat, no matter how persuasive you are I sent out my invitations a few months ago with a very nicely worded (if I do say so myself) instruction sheet that explained the importance of booking early because of the resort's size. Four months later...I only have four rooms booked, and it's all my immediate family. We still have plenty of time so I'm not freaking out, but once October rolls around and we STILL don't have any bookings, I might have a hissy fit. I'm hoping peeps book before then, though.

So just wanted to let you know that it's totally normal if people don't go right out and book (GingerLover is an exception to the rule!) so don't panic
